When it comes to kitchen remodeling, many homeowners focus on the aesthetic aspects of the project such as choosing new cabinets, countertops, and flooring. However, the kitchen sink and disposal are some of the hardest working plumbing fixtures in your home. Don’t let your renovation budget leak out leaving little to invest in quality, functional kitchen fixtures.
Picking the Right Sink and Disposal for Kitchen Remodeling
Extending Your Range of Options
When selecting your new sink and fixtures, it’s important to know you are not constrained to a top-mount or undermount installation, sink depth, or drain configuration of your past sink due to the layout of your kitchen pipes and plumbing. With our re-piping service and master plumber expertise, we can make modifications to your kitchen plumbing to accommodate any changes.
Garbage Disposal Horsepower and Operation
When it comes to disposals, there are two main types to choose from: batch feed and continuous feed. Batch feed disposals require you to fill the disposal with food waste before turning it on, while continuous feed disposals can be turned on and off as needed. Additionally, consider the horsepower of the disposal, with higher horsepower providing more power and efficiency. It may also be beneficial to install an air gap or a garbage disposal switch to prevent clogs and maintain proper functioning.
Classic Stainless Steel to Composite Chic
Stainless steel sinks are a popular and cost-effective choice, with a variety of depths and configurations available. However, if durability is a top priority, composite sinks are a great option. They are less likely to dent or scratch with everyday use, meaning they will look new for longer and potentially increase the resale value of your home.
Dishing Out Sink Secrets
Many older homes were built with standard, shallow sinks and two basins, but nowadays, many homeowners prefer a single, deeper basin for cleaning larger items like cookie sheets, cutting boards, and roasting pans. At Pederson's, we offer re-piping services and our master plumbers can reconfigure drains to accommodate a lower garbage disposal due to a deeper sink.
